The Rolling Stones Live on the TAMI Show 1964

The acronym name alternately stands for “Teen Age Music International” and “Teenage Awards Music International.” The enthusiastic audience were recruited by handing out tickets at Los Angeles area high schools.

The Rolling Stones were on their first tour of America, and Keith Richards has said that following James Brown was one of the biggest mistakes of their career.

There were backstage because the Rolling Stones had been granted the final slot of the evening, and Brown was furious. “No one follows James Brown,” he told Steve Binder, the director of the movie. On paper it was a tough call: Brown was largely unknown to the mainstream pop audience, while the Stones had recently landed in the United Sates, the next big British thing on the heels of Beatlemania.
